The Matarese Countdown

In Robert Ludlum's latest blockbuster, secret deals are in the making, and the players are the biggest in global finance and government. It is an unprecedented consolidation of money, power, and ruthlessness. Their ultimate aim: worldwide economic domination -- by whatever means necessary. The Matarese dynasty is back in all its glory and evil, and there's only one man with enough knowledge to stop it: CIA case officer Cameron Pryce. The countdown has begun and Pryce has one chance to beat the clock by following a trail of blood money and stone-cold killers to the heart of a deadly conspiracy. But from the Hamptons to London's Belgrave Square, Matarese assassins have already struck with brutal efficiency. The question is: Can Pryce locate the enigmatic "Beowulf Agate" in time?
